"Hey, fourth child, you came too soon. I just finished saving Mother Chen and came here, but you were one step ahead of me!"
The person who came was none other than the second eldest son, Zhu Xi. Seeing that Zhu Di was already in the house, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's weird about this?" Behind Zhu Xi, the third child Zhu Fan, wearing a moon-white gown, also stepped into the room. "It must be that the fourth child didn't go to Chen Province and came directly to look for the fifth brother."
"He was lectured by Master Song yesterday, how could he still dare to show his face to his mother?"
"You are all here!" Zhu Su was overjoyed.
"Suddenly I was free, and I didn't know how to entertain myself. I remembered that it had been some time since I left the palace, so I thought I would come and play with you." Zhu Fang smiled at him. Zhu Fang also came over and put his arm around Zhu Su's shoulders.
: "You guys, it's so easy to hide here with the elder brother! Leave the brothers to suffer in the main hall!"
On the surface, they still thought it was because Zhu Su couldn't be trained, and Lao Zhu was furious, so he handed it over to Prince Zhu Biao for instruction.
"Brothers, let alone come to see me... I'm afraid it's because the eldest brother is about to have a baby, so it's more important to come here to congratulate him, right?" Zhu Su said with a smile. "Coming to see me, my little brother, is just incidental, right?
It's as if he made a special trip to see me."
"Hehe, congratulations and looking for you are all business!" Zhu Feng said with a smile. "I wanted to go look for eldest brother first, but I didn't expect that there were so many people there, and it wasn't very interesting to think about it, so I came to look for you first.
"
The brothers were chatting and laughing, and they were having a good time. After a while, Zhu Fan said, "I don't know if there are fewer people over there, eldest brother. Xiangdeng! Go and have a look!"
"We're all feeling numb in the buttocks, but my eldest brother is still welcoming us!" Zhu Ping strangely shouted. "Do we have to wait here until sunset? It's a rare day off, isn't it a waste of time!"
The little eunuch Gou'er standing outside the door heard the sound and wanted to help Xiangdeng. Xiangdeng hurriedly gestured to him. The dog was startled and knelt down at the door.
As soon as this idea came up, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Su immediately became interested. However, Xiang Deng, who was beside him, was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "Your Highnesses, you can't do that! Your Highnesses are all worth a thousand pieces of gold, how can they be humbled?"
Get out of the city! If there's something good going on, it's not a joke!"
Zhu Su's face was solemn, and every word he spoke was filled with concern. Zhu Ping, who had turned his head away from looking at him, couldn't help but feel horrified. "Lao Wu, my second brother knows what you are thinking."
"It doesn't matter. My father has arranged for me to have the guards from the Arch Guard Division, and I will let them accompany me." Zhu Su said. "Besides, my brothers are all future kings of Sai, and they all have to guard a river and a mountain. Even a city.
If we don’t dare to go out, how will we fight against the Meng Yuan on the grassland in the future?”
"I have an idea!" Zhu Di stood up. "Why don't we go for a walk outside the city? The wind is gentle today, so we can go out and enjoy the cool air. Wouldn't it be better to just sit here?"
Zhu Su calmed down, but he didn't expect his second brother to be so angry. When dealing with him on weekdays, he always looked like an honest brother. Although he had heard that he treated his servants harshly, deep down he didn't believe it.
"You old guy, you are so noisy!" What he said angered the King of Qin, Zhu Ping. Zhu Ping flew up and kicked Xiang Deng directly. "How can I, my brothers, discuss matters like you?
Is it your responsibility to speak only after you have killed someone?"
"Your Highness... a body of a thousand pieces of gold cannot go to dangerous places..." Xiang Deng still said to himself.
"Even if you put your own safety first, you must never do this!"
"Even if you need to punish, you should also set a clear example, punish it with public weapons, and make people convinced. Throughout the ages, those who want to achieve success have always needed to win people's hearts. Lynching will only make people more alienated. And they will accumulate hatred day by day.
Come on, if you provoke someone to become violent, it will be a disaster to the sky: wouldn’t the second brother hear the anger of a common man and splash blood every step of the way?”
"That's not what you said." Zhu Su said seriously. "Since I know that he is short-sighted, I just ignore him and don't communicate with him. How can he be violent?"
"I know, I know. From now on, I will never treat my servants harshly." Zhu Xi waved his hand. Then he touched Zhu Su's head and smiled happily: "The fourth child is right, the fifth child also cares about me. Again.
No matter what, I can’t let Xiao Wu worry about losing my dignity as an elder brother!”
"It's not a question of whether it's harmful or not!" Zhu Su almost collapsed. Just as he was about to say more, he heard Zhu Di interrupt: "Second brother, the fifth brother is trying to persuade you! How can you prevent the people around you from becoming enemies? Only Qian
If you are a thief every day, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
"Besides, the so-called way of governing subordinates emphasizes both rewards and punishments, and giving both kindness and power. Even if you are training an animal, you have to give it a slap in the face, otherwise you will be kicked. What's more, it's a human being."
"We are older brothers, don't let younger brothers worry about us!"
"I'm not feeling sorry for the servant, but I'm worried about you, second brother. Mencius, a Confucian scholar, once said, 'If a ruler treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.' Second brother will also be able to rule alone in the future. If
How can I, my brother, feel at ease when everyone around me regards you as my enemy?"
Jin Wang Zhu Fan glanced at it lightly and continued to drink tea. Yan Wang Zhu Di frowned slightly: "It's enough to rebuke him, so why do you need to do it yourself?"
Zhu Su always felt that he didn't listen, and wanted to persuade him again, but when he opened his mouth, he was afraid that if he continued to speak, it would have the opposite effect, so he kept silent and said no more.
The old eunuch who was waiting outside the door responded immediately. After a while, he turned around and reported: "Your Highnesses, His Highness the Crown Prince is still entertaining guests. The one he is currently receiving is the Young Master of the Duke of Ying's Mansion!"
"Don't worry, that little guy wouldn't dare to harm your second brother!"
Xiang Deng had nothing to say, so he made a confession and let the dog help him down. Zhu Su turned to Zhu Ping and said, "Second brother is too hot-tempered. Even if he is a servant, he shouldn't be treated so harshly.
"
His kick made even Zhu Su stunned. Xiang Deng screamed in pain and was hit in the calf by the table leg, but he did not dare to get up and remained lying on the ground.
"Well said!" Zhu Di praised. "If you are eunuchs, you know how broad-minded a man is!"
Recalling what is recorded in the history books of later generations, Zhu Zhen often abused lynching in the palace to entertain his favorite concubine Deng. In the end, the slaves could not bear it anymore and were poisoned to death. From this, it seems that his violent temper will already exist in the future.
Such obvious signs!
Xiang Deng was still lying on the ground, screaming for death. Zhu Chong was still angry. Zhu Su stood up, lifted Xiang Deng up from the ground, and said to the dog at the door: "What are you still doing? Why don't you help me quickly?"
Is he going down?"
"What's wrong? I feel bad that your chamberlain was kicked by my brother?" Zhu Xi was still angry. "How can there be a good person in the eunuch? How dare you point fingers at our brothers!"
Later, you can persuade them slowly and subtly.
When Zhu Fan saw that Zhu Su was silent, he came out to smooth things over and said, "That's wrong. Didn't you say you want to leave the city? Fourth child, this is your idea. Do you have any idea where you want to go?"
"I heard that there is a Bifeng Temple outside the West City, which is very efficacious. Why don't we go there?" Zhu Di said.
"You can also stop by and ask for a safe sign for our unborn nephew!"
